92. Those who keep their income, expenditure,
and mortgages distinct, and engage in mutual trans-
actions in money-lending and traffic, are undoubtedly
separate.
93. Whether kinsmen are united or separate, they
are all alike as regards immovable property, as no
one of them has power in any case to give, mortgage,
or sell it,
94. 95. Whatever share is enjoyed by each, must
not be changed from him. If he should subsequently
contest a distribution, which was made with his own
consent, he shall be compelled by the king to content
himself with his share, and shall be punished if he
should persist in contention.
96. When the loan or mortgaging of joint property
is concealed with a fraudulent purpose, the king
shall recover it from the cheat by artifice, but not
use violence to extort it from him.
97. Cheats, robbers of wealth, crafty and covetous
men, shall be reclaimed by friendly expostulation,
by the loss of their own property, or by stra-
tagem.
98. Household utensils, beasts of burden and the
like, milch cattle, ornaments, and workmen have to
be divided on being discovered. When property is
(supposed to be) hidden, proof by sacred libation is
ordained.

‘ co-heirs ’ (dayada^). The general meaning remains the same.
